too tired to write much-
hacked and abused bed to sit right-
layed front bed supports on chassis rails and clamped up-
set tin and rear wheel up so get a view-bit more interesting than endless pictures of one off parts being made:-P
stripped first wheel cylinder-all good-
got some more fiddly bits made and started stripping the first wheel station-i reckon if one wheel cylinder is leaking they are all getting fresh seals and fluid-so i got these seals ordered today-the guy let me have them buck shee:-P he knows i will be getting a heap of stuff once i get going-...
thanks guys really appreciate the encourage ment-
with regards to the delaware destroyers/JLHOOKER tunes- im irish whiskey all the way-john power gold label-bushmills 400 year anniversary-bushmills 16 year-and any JAMESONS at all-
my aim is to get this rusty rascal rolling for next...
so i got the final part of the tipper frame layed up , drilled and bolted up-
then i went for my baby forklift-im just one guy on my own trying to get this thing built, the rough ground plays havoc with this little pallet loader-but it will lift the cummins engine easily,it,s just not too...
my landrover TUM110 has outlasted 3 mog axles,1 merc petrol engine,and countless miles of MIG wire and sheet steel used to patch up the scabby cabs-i love mogs-had a few-and will always like them,but for the money my landrover will pull it self to any job ahead of a mog , and the spares dont...

thanks-really looking forward to getting the bodyparts back on,just so i can see how she,ll look when all done-like all these type of 'mix up' builds there are so many more jobs than you first reckoned on-:-P
thanks! i sure will-we got winter coming in here,which wont help tho'-
got the top ram mount about done,still got to find a hunk of steel to run down inside the box section-
lined it all up-lifted the tipper up n down a few times,checked alignment and re did measures-all good-drilled pilot...
i hear the son took over from the old man there and doesn,t look after all the old customers,the ones who in fact made the business from the start-i wont use them for anything again-
more importantly-
got some more fab done-this is the start of the top mount for the tipper ram-3/8" steel...
hi busbart-they are used just real good shape-and cheap too-lys tout terrain [en france] wanted stupid money [trop cher] for the wheels and tyres-took me while but i saved a small fortune-
i need to get the rims blasted and painted then i will fit the newer XZL,s-these tyres really fatten...
not for me it,s not!:)...we,ll meet at bonneville speedweek mate!
got a load of fab and parts-
finally settled on design and position? of bottom ram mount-AT LAST.
this was all cut & ground from some rusty old stuff that was laying around,it cut real nice,reasonable amount of carbon in it...
the retro fitted turbo diesels are even faster!!!:D
i will see if i can find the film from sarejevo of a british cavalry regiment using the RARDEN cannon to ' unzip a sniper ' who was making a nuisance of himself in a church tower-when the dust cleared the top of the tower was gone, there was...
i looked into this conversion on my m880/unimog build,after allowing for all the mods involved felt it was not worth the effort.
-but i wouldn,t let that stop you !
thanks again gunny-your beer stash is piling up round here! i have looked at getting the ram angle as steep as possible,looking at it now i can see that the weight of the bed would force down onto the ram sections,possibly bending them,at worst and at best causing 'stiction' like on highly...
hey gunny-got it clamped up like this-and it goes up n down like a 'lady of the night,s under garments':shock:
i will stand by for advices.
the last picture is of the bed landing points,these will have a female counterpart- [dont we all] and sit on a NYLATRON washer to quiet the rattles...
